If your child needs to take time off during the school year in Scottish Borders, it's essential to inform their school as soon as possible. Schools expect parents to notify them of any absences, whether it's due to illness, appointments, or other reasons.
Here’s a quick overview of the steps you can take:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Notify the School | Contact your child's school directly and inform them of the absence. |
| 2. Provide Reason | Specify the reason for the time off (e.g., illness, appointments). |
| 3. Request Learning Materials | If possible, ask the school for any learning materials your child can complete at home during their absence. |
It’s always a good idea to keep the communication open with the school to ensure your child stays on track. If you're looking for further assistance, you can reach out to the school's Headteacher or Pupil Support staff.
